Polisario Loss: The Presidency declares three days of national mourning after the death in combat of Polisario commander Lehbib Mohamed Abdelaziz and two companions. Regional Security Context: A week of coverage also tracks rising militarisation across Africa and Algeria’s shifting focus beyond the Sahara, alongside broader arms-race reporting. Culture & Awareness: Switzerland screens documentaries on Sahrawi activists and imprisoned journalists, while Slovenian TV features an interview with ISACOM president Aminatou Haidar.
